»‘Devastated’ Reports say Johnny Depp was at Jeff Beck’s deathbed«
Before his buddy Jeff Beck passed away on Wednesday, “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor Johnny Depp was allegedly there at his bedside with “some other rock stars.”
The artist, who just toured and co-wrote an album with Beck, is “devastated” by his passing, a source told People.
The unidentified insider said that “they had a pretty strong bond, they were incredibly close, and he became even closer throughout the course of this past summer while they were on tour together.” “The illness developed really fast, and in the final couple of weeks, everything worsened very swiftly.”
Depp has been contacted by The Post for comment.
In July, Depp, 59, and Beck released an album called “18,” along with a music video for one of the tracks.
“Johnny is currently analyzing this information. He is inconsolable, a source told The Post.
When the music video was first released, Depp commented, “It’s an unbelievable pleasure to perform and compose music with Jeff, one of the real greats and someone I am now fortunate enough to call my brother.
Depp apparently criticized his ex-wife Amber Heard on the album as well.
In a statement at the time, Beck expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with the “Sweeney Todd” actor.
I haven’t had a creative collaborator like him in a very long time, Beck stated. “He had a significant role in this recording. Because some people find it difficult to believe that Johnny Depp can sing rock and roll, I only hope that people will take him seriously as a musician.
Family members announced the guitarist’s death on Twitter.
The statement stated, “On behalf of his family, we convey the news of Jeff Beck’s passing with deep and profound regret.”
He quietly died away yesterday after developing bacterial meningitis at an unexpected time. His family requests discretion while they mourn this tragic death.
